Reply to classmates questions to help them complete their programs.
Check discussion board as often as you are able. Remember, timely responses are critical for the success of everyone.
Please remember the netiquette when posting to the discussion board.
What is netiquette? Communication and conduct in the course community will be held to the standards of academic achievement, discipline, equal opportunity, student rights and regulations, and policies specified for any course at the institution. Some netiquette guidelines:
Behind Every Name There is a Person
a. Respect the privacy of your classmates and what they share in class. b. Ask classmates for clarification if you find a discussion posting offensive or difficult to understand. c. Avoid sweeping generalizations. Back up your stated opinions with facts and reliable sources. d. Understand that we may disagree and that exposure to other people’s opinions is part of the learning experience. e. Be respectful of each other. We’re all in this together. Before posting a comment, ask whether you would be willing to make the same comment to a person's face. f. Keep in mind that everything you write, indeed every click of your mouse is recorded on the network server. On the Internet there are no take backs. g. Keep in mind that you are taking a class. Something that would be inappropriate in a traditional classroom is also inappropriate in an online classroom.
Online Communication
a. Be aware that typing in all capital letters indicates shouting. b. Be careful with humor and sarcasm. Both can easily be misunderstood! c. Review all discussion postings before posting your own to prevent redundancy. d. Check your writing for errors by reviewing what you’ve written before submitting it. e. Acronyms (LOL, etc.) and emoticons (smilies) are commonly used online, but be careful not to overuse them. f. Many communications with your instructor or fellow students are best handled through email. Only post on the classroom discussion board if the conversation is relevant to others in the class.
4. Reflection 1 is Due.

Were the websites helpful in developing your plan? Were you surprised by your estimated body composition? How did the discussions go for you? or Any other thoughts, problems, concerns or ideas you would like to share.
Submit reflection to instructors by email before 10:00pm Sunday. You may want to type it in a word document and attach it or paste it into the body of the email.
